All teks, every ware, recommend using heat. Burning the needle, heating the foil, etc? Can I use cotton and alcohol to sterilize the needle after every inoculation instead of burning it? It is pretty difficult to burn anything in an airtight glovebox, and dangerous if you sprayed Lysol on it.
I feel fire is just so dirty imperfect process that I wish I could clean everything inside the glovebox with alcohol.
Nobody mentions alcohol, is there anything wrong with it?
Can I clean with alcohol the foil that I?m going to use for the jars?

That sound great, and so commutable, but I?m always afraid Lysol will hurt the spores. The ideal could be if one could wipe the needle and the lid with Lysol like substance, can this be done wit no risk?

Also, can you give me more detail of how you do it?
The soap you mention, is it liquid or bar soap?
Which one do you use and what do you use to wipe things? tissue or something?

Does any one else does this?

Thank you all for your imputs, it has really help
